When I scroll down, I can see all the synths and effects downloads, so you can download them separately if you want, otherwise I didn't get what you want

Predator related threads always perk my interest. I have a love hate relationship with it, especially v2.. I also dislike the GUI. It is a powerful synth parameter wise but the engine is rather dated sounding, a tad thin and possibly glassy but often in a cheap way, not a "classy glassy" it is also fake "stereo-y" not in a good way. It kind of sounds 2000 soft syth like. Which I suppose is a fairly unique for 2021. It seems to be generally out gunned sonically by the very vast majority of all other softsynths. So I hope the fundamental engine is rewritten from the ground up otherwise I won't be upgrading. V2 sounded pretty much the same as V1. A V3 sounding the same just makes no sense to me.

You can make it sound as good as other synths.. sometimes... but it can be ditched in favour of another synth, the effects are not of a high calibre. They are quite gritty.. which I guess again might add to its retro credentials.

It is a funny old synth really... sometimes it can be really great and sometiems it is just a pretty clear no.. you need to try it and judge it in the moment for what you are asking of it and decide if it or another synth is preferable.

As such it is on my B list but I still like it, it has a nostalgic/retro appeal... on the odd occasion.

edit: I see the engine seems to be having a rewrite after closer scanning of the thread. I will give the demo a whirl when it surfaces.

I wonder if 2 will still be on sale when 3 is demoable so the decision can be made or if once it turns 3 version 2 will no longer be available

Well, it isn't Serum or Massive X! However, it is a great synth that covers 90% of everyday bread and butter sounds with low cpu. It has also tons of presets that it's rare I need to make my own.

Personally, the more I use it, the more I love it

I only expect it will get better with version 3.

I asked Rob about the release (expected end of September and he answered:

It will be somewhere in October. We aimed for end September indeed, but still not ready.

Currently when using Velocity to modulate the mod amounts of the mod matrix or Env / LFO tab, it can’t do it polyphonically. I’d love to have that possibility in Predator.

Also having the option for Velocity to work when playing Legato notes. Currently whatever Velocity level is set for the first note is used for subsequent Legato notes no matter if you play with varying Velocity.

I did email Rob about these feature requests and this is what he said…

About the Legato mode, this I dislike to change because it is not the regular way of working (as all classic synths work this way) and will cause issues with the current presets.

Thanks for the input and with the polyphonic amount controls, IMO this should be possible.

Hopefully polyphonic amount controls make it in there

I can make my peace with the Mono Velocity thing

Looking forward to the release anyway.

One of the greatest strengths of Rob Papen Synths is the sheer amount of useable/practical sounds that cover a wide range of genres.
Jon Ayers the developer and Rob make a good team.

Well, this _is_ Rob's announcement, I'm only posting it because not everyone follows him on Facebook where he wrote this.

If you check in the comments of the Rocoder intro video on YouTube, there is a reply from Rob saying it's going to be released (Predator 3) on 20th of October this month

Ah, ok. I'm not at Facebook so I couldn't know it.
